Golden

Golden By: Shaneika Cooper Like Jill Scott said, she’s living her life like it’s golden And so am I Cause it feels like I’ve been chosen by the Lord above To be blessed with the feeling of true love Every day is like story from some fairy tale Every breath I breathe is blessed with the feeling that I will prevail When I walk into a room my head is held high And I catch the eye of those who choose to look Because my life is golden, and it can’t be shook I was given a family that would do anything for me Our love is like the bricks that hold up the buildings in the cities A mother and father who gave me the beauty you see And an attitude so fierce that’ll have you shivering I got my height from them and that makes me so tall But I don’t mind, cause I’ll walk into the room and feel prouder than them all My hair may not be wavy and soft like those beauty queens But I still attract some stares, and I speak my mind and do my thing My knowledge will get me accepted to college Where I can make something of myself Yeah, life is golden, because I’m happy and well
